Thanks Phil! There is no Arpan cd as a group, not yet at least. Kedar Naphade released a Carnatic Classical CD in 2010, titled “Geethanjali” with percussionists Tiravarur Bhaktavatsalam and Ghatam Giridhar Udupa. See: www.kedarnaphade.com...
And Arun Ramamurthy has a cd coming out with his Jazz Trio now - see: www.cdbaby.com... .

Sure thing Whooda! Well dear listeners, I do have a couple more giveaways up for grabs but yes, they do require a trip to New York City! The Big Apple! Shows at Le Poisson Rouge May 16 and 17. Both quite interesting. Info at left; email me, robw AT wfmu DOT org with the word TIX in the subject line if you're interested in getting in the running.
